Town Planner uits Newcastle's planning department bas again been rocked by resigna- tion only two months after the appointment of a new planning director. Yesterday, the town's planning id development committee was rnformed that George Howden, a planner with the town for almost five years, has resigned and would be moving to Windsor to take a position as a senior planner with the city. "Mr. Howden stated the sole reason for his resignation was his new job," said Albert Guiler, town manager. Alon gwith Mr. Howden's resigna- tion, the town also received the resignation of Leslie Kristof's secre- tary. Mr. Kristof is the planning diretor. No reason was given for her decision, which comes after only two weeks on the job. In a prèpared statement at the committee meeting, Robert Dykstra, the committee chairman, wished Mr. Howden well and hoped he had success in his new position. "I know it has not been easy working here," said Mr. Dykstra, "and we thank you for your sincerity under difficult circumstances. You have received a lot of criticism in the past, whether rightly or wrongly, and I have given my share, however, 1 thank you for tbe sincerity you showed and the long hours of overtime you put in and all you have done. I wish you and the committee wishes you alI the success in your new post. Mr. Kristof was unavailable for comment on the matter because a weekend accident kept him from the meeting. Mr. Guiler stated an Brewery Meets For Festival at Carling O'Keefe Breweries Limit- ed has met all of the town's by-law requirements to stage a one-day concert at Mosport and is also expected to pay the $6,000 cost for keeping a tanker pumper and four fire department employees on the scene during the event.

ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9,1978 623-3303 24Pages Miles Ahead Industrial development in New- castle will be miles ahead of similar development in Oshawa because of the town's location and lower land ic an area developer has pra.es, Harald Jensen, of Solina Invest- ments Limited, and Rick Gay, of on Jarigay Investments Limited, are the principals in a newly opened industrial park in South Courtice and last week, Mr. Jensen made the claim about development in the town. "We'll build up a lot faster than, Oshawa, and we' l be miles ahead," Development he said. "Oshawa is going to be just like Toronto as far as getting in and out is concerned. It will be constricted. In Newcastle and Courtice, we're more central and you can cut hours off of your delivery time if you can get supplies from the east. You can even by-pass Toronto on deliveries and save tbere too. Tbere's a lot of plusses to locating bere.", In recent months, town officials and developers have be n moving on industrial parks, and this latest pening epitomizes this new attitude in the municipality. Moving from square one, a the paperwork and necessary arrangements for the Marnie Industrial Park were com- pleted in five months, an unprece- dented occurrence, according to Mr. Jensen. The industries allowed to locate in this area, bowever, are ligbt or dry industries because of tbe iack of sewage capacity in the area. That, though, has turned out to be a plus. Because the hard services aren't available, land prices have been kept low and it is provng a little easier to attract companies to the area. Already, Capital Equipment Limited, lessors of heavy construc- tion equipment,tand Cigas Products Limited, a distributor of propane gases, have begun preparations to moving in. Mr. Jensen pointed out that both don't require bard services and can survive nicely on septic tanks and wells. He said each would use less water than a normal residential dwelling. At the moment, Mr. Jensen and Mr. Gay are 1romoting the site on Baseline Roa , east of Trull's Rd., however, they are quickly movin to begin development on their land to Turn to Page Two The Bay's store manager Gary Garossino exchanges greeting with Durham Region Chairman Walter Beath.

Bl ood.-Clin ic Sets R ecord This year's August blood donor clinic bas been desribed as the best in at least the last 12 years and it may be the best August clinie on record. Durham East Red Cross President Pat Griffin said last week that 230 units of blood were collected. In addition, there were 21 deferrals by ersons who were willing to give lood but were unable to do so for various reasons. This means that a total of 251 donors or potential donors visited the clinie in the Lions Centre on Beech Ave. last Wednesday after- noon and evening. Mrs.tGriffin said good publicity prior to the clinic was one of tbe reasons for such a good showing this month. Mrs. Griffin said traditional- ly there are fewer blood donations made during August and larger *clinics are expected in the fall, winter and spring. The quota for blood collected at the Bowmanville clinics stands at 1400 this year. The Red Cross president explained that this means an average of 350 units .must be collected at each of the four clinics. Bowmanville's next blood donor clinic will be 3held Wednesday, November 1. 'Dama ge was estimated at close to $1,000 following a fire .in this home on George St. last Thursday afternoon.

I Fire Damages Bowmanville Home Bits & Pieces SUPER WEEKEND - We're not sure if it was Lord Simcoe, Her Majesty the Queen or Prime Minister Trudeau who ordered that glorious weekend weather, but it was just about perfect for holidaying. Unfortunately, it was also ideal for sanding and painting, an occupation the lady of the house has been mentioning on frequent occasions for the past several months. We made a start on the job and are still recovering, with more to come when and if time and energy permits. GOOD TURNOUT - Newcastle's Side- walk Sale and Harbor Day was a great success with customers and spectators galore at both events on Friday, Saturday and Monday. The Lions Auction came up with some great bargains with the Stapleton Brothers in charge. There was even a car to be auctioned off with a re- serve bid. Most of the village youngsters were wearing paint hats from Newcastle Lumber, or yard sticks, pens from Papa's Pizza or other items that were given away. It *as a good show. And the Harbor activities were loads of fun. SADNESS AND TRAGEDY - There were two major items that marred the weekend. First was that tragic bus accident in Quebec where the bus went into the lake and drowned so many handicapped occupants. The second was, of course, the death of Pope Paul VI at his summer home near Rome at the age of 80. He had made many friends and some enemies during his tenure but was bighly respected around the world for his efforts to bring about Christian unity and peace. 25% Issue 32
